Inspired by my sister in law who just started a blog about her bipolar disorder, I thought this might be a good avenue for me to discuss our challenges with bipolar.
With that said....My name is Allyson and I am bipolar as is my husband. We both were diagnosed just over a year ago. We're still adjusting to the diagnoses. My husband has chosen to not take medication and uses creating and selling chainmaille jewelry as therapy. (facebook.com/icdoodads) . I chose the medication route.
Shortly after we were diagnosed, we found out we were expecting our first child, which meant I had to come off the meds. As exciting as this moment should have been, I wasn't worried about weather she'd have 10 fingers and 10 toes, I worried about her getting a double dose of crazy. Our daughter will be six months old in a few days and it's been a struggle, I won't lie. I love my daughter and am grateful. It's definitely a challenge though.
I now hope to be able to help others. Here's the beginning of our journey.
